Page parameter containing the date

[malini]

I'm passing an instance of Date as a page parameter,my xxx.page.xml containing,

<param name="maintenanceSchReqDate" value="#{maintenanceSchHome.maintenanceSchId.reqDate}" converterId="org.jboss.seam.ui.DateTimeConverter"/>

The param in the URL was as follows

maintenanceSchReqDate=2011-10-10

ReqDate is one of a primary key in the DB table.

Is it possible to pass the date as a page parameter? How is it done?

why not just think of it as a string since that is in fact what you are passing then parse it in your backing bean?
